Header and footer problem
Why does my header/footer look washed out and pale when I stop editing it? I want anyone who opens my document to see the header and footer in full color.
Thanks |

That's how headers/footers work. If you want the headers footers to look
like the rest of the document, output to PDF format and distribute that. You will need extra software to output to PDF, the nature of which will depend on your Word version. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org killerclick wrote: Why does my header/footer look washed out and pale when I stop editing it?

Yay, solved it. Just Format Picture that is in the header and reduce brightness and increase contrast so that it compensates for the washed-out look that Word just had to force. |

I shudder to think what you'll get when you print that document. Have you
looked at Print Preview? (Though actually, if it is wrapped, even a normal graphic may still look washed out even in Print Preview.) -- Suzanne S.

Header and footer problem
If you switch to Reading View, do you get the headers & footers
looking right? (It must be there for _something_.)

Header and footer problem
The reading layout (not something I normally use) does not show
headers/footers at all. In any case even if it did, the OP is concerned that others would see his document with faded headers and there is no way you can impose a view on other users. The only sensible approach, if this is critical (and as Word users know that headers/footers are faded I don't see that it is) is to use PDF format for distribution. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org grammatim wrote: If you switch to Reading View, do you get the headers & footers looking right?

Header and footer problem
So ... does anyone know what "Reading View" is for, anyway?

Header and footer problem
I guess if you're just reading for content, it would be helpful, especially
for those who need to increase the text size for visibility. In any other view, if you increase the Zoom ratio, eventually a document with reasonable margins will run off the screen, but Reading Layout/Full Screen Reading view allows you to increase the font size without increasing the width of the text line. I would guess it is intended for e-books and mimics the behavior of dedicated e-book readers such as Kindle. It would probably also be helpful for just ordinary proofreading. Sometimes I overlook missing punctuation because it falls at the end of a line; with both nonprinting characters and text boundaries displayed, it's often hard to tell whether a period or comma is actually there or not (unless I increase the Zoom dramatically). So I would guess it has its uses for some people. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "grammatim" wrote in message ...
